Pyboard specifics
-----------------
Polling is an efficient way of waiting for read/write activity on multiple
objects. Current objects that support polling are: :class:`pyb.UART`,
:class:`pyb.USB_VCP`.
Functions
---------
.. function:: poll()
2014-10-31 22:21:37 +00:00
Create an instance of the Poll class.
.. function:: select(rlist, wlist, xlist[, timeout])

Wait for activity on a set of objects.
2014-11-08 18:14:05 +00:00
This function is provided for compatibility and is not efficient. Usage
